Proposal for Garneau Cooperative | 


by Allen Young 


Acow sof’: A “student: is 
suggesting that the university 
owned North Garneau 


residential area be turned into a 
student housing co-operative. 

Colin Mackenzie, a fifth 
year anthropology student, has 
submitted a position paper to the 
North Garneau Housing Com- 
mittee (NGHC) which advocates 
the establishment of a co-op 
which would allow students to 
directly participate in the ad- 

. ministration of the North Gar- 
neau housing community. 

His paper would give the 
responsibility.for the formation 
of administrative policy in North 
Garneau to an elected student 
board of directors. 

Presently North Garneau is 
administered by the North Gar- 
neau. Housing Committee 
(NGHOC), in co-ordination with 
the North Garneau Housing 
Office. These bodies are under 
the control of ‘the university 
planning and development office 
and Board of Governors. 

The proposed co-operative 
would be granted the right to 
establish specific policy.in regard 
‘to the allocation of housing and 


in relation to evictions and 
appeals so long as such policy is 
within ‘a framework of general 
principles of tenacy approved by 
the Board of Governors. 

The University North Gar- 
neau Housing Office would 
collect rents, handle the issuance 
of eviction notices in the name of 
the co-op, handle inquiries regar- 
ding the availability of housing, 
and administer fees levied to run 
the organization. Basically, ac- 
cording to Mackenzie’s 
proposal, it would administer the 
administrative policies establish- 
ed by the student co-op. The 
co-op would also have a liason 
committe, which would deal with 
general principles relating to 
North Garneau. Mackenzie’s 
proposal recognizes that the 
university has a number of 
genuine interests in North Gar- 
neau, such as the amounts of 
rents to be charged, future plans 
for the area, landscaping, and the 
maintenance of the houses. But 
the interests of the university are 
related’ to. general principles 


father than specific policies, says 


the position paper. 
The paper argues “there is a 
decided lack of social cohesion in 


North Garneau” which was not 
the case before the university 
took over the direct administra- 
tion.of the community. | 

It says the present . ad- 
ministrative structure involving 
the North Garneau Housing 
Office, and senior university

Human rights association calls university 
TOEFL requirements discriminatory 


by Don McIntosh. 

The Alberta Human Rights 
and Civil Liberties Association 
has condemned the U of A’s 


English language proficiency test - 


as discriminatory. 

In a letter to U of A 
president Harry Gunning, the 
Association said the requirement 
“unfairly discriminates. against 


people on the basis of their - 


national origin or race.” 

It urged the university to 
replace the requirement. 
_» The Association did not 


‘ix 


~~ condemn the requirements out- 


right. They said if the university . 


feels such tests are necessary, the 
same tests should be applied to 
all applicants. 


Last year, Mr. W. Burns, 
secretary of the admissions 
reuqirements committee, said 
the section of the calendar which 


states all non-native speakers of - 


English be required to take the 


TOEFL test was not contrary to 


human rights. 


“This -

discriminate as to citizenship or

place of origin. It simply es- 
tablishes the university's inten- 
tion to examine any applicant, 
native born Canadian. or 
otherwise, if there is doubt that 
he or she has native fluency in the 
language of instruction. This 
does not, of course, mean that 
the university will test all 
applicants for native fluency, 
that would be uneconomic and 
unnecessary.

_ establishment 


employed in North Garneau was 
not originally designed with co- 
‘operative housing in mind, and 
claims it is an ineffective and 
not the most just way of handling 
co-op housing. 

It argues the most effective 
means of resolving the dif- 
ficulties would be for the Board 
of Governors to permit ths 
of a_ student- 
administered housing co-op. 

The proposal suggests the 
lack of social cohesion is because 
of a high rate of transience 
resulting from the forced depar- 
ture of the non-student residents 
and ineffective procedures for 
the allocation of housing. 

Though the report refuses to 
reopen for debate the issue of 
non-students living in North 
Garneau, it argues the allocation 
of housing in the community is 


ineffective because of a “buddy 
system” that has developed, 
ironically, specifically out of 
university policies designed in 
the past to prevent favoratism. 

Groups of tenants seeking © 
an entire house are favored over 
individuals seeking single rooms 
because of a ‘waiting. fist.and 
non-existent advertising, says 
the report. 


Existing -tenant 
organizations cannot be ex- 
pected to solve this problem 
because they are generally only 
quasi legal and issue oriented, 
having no day-to-day activities, 
says the position paper. 


Colin Mackenzie has been 
involved with co-op housing at 
the U_of A and is presently the 
Garneau tenants’ representative 
to the NGHC. 


Hohol stands firm 


by Don McIntosh ; 

Dr. Bert Hohol did not say 
if tuition fees will rise by ten per 
cent this year. 

But at the Friday meeting 
with the Federation of Alberta 
Students (FAS), the minister of 
advanced education said an 
annual 10 per cent fee increase is 


part of government policy, and is’ 


something he would like to con- 
tinue. 
He also said an increase. in 


‘tuition fees would not damage 
‘the credibility of the government 


student Cost Committee which 
was formed last month to in- 
vestigate the tuition question and 
report its findings within one 
year. 

Brian Mason, FAS ex- 
ecutive officer, argued it was 
unfair to raise tuition fees before 
the committee completed its 
study. 


the meeting, 
Mason told: Gateway Dr. _ announced its campaign to fight eae 


‘Hohol said if the committee’s 


recommendations are contrary 
to government policy, its report 
would be disregarded. 

David Rand, SU executive 
vp, and FAS executive member, 
said he was left with the impres- 
sion that Dr. Hohol was saying 
there will be at least a 10 per cent 


increase in tuition fees next year. 


According to Rand,~ Dr. 
Hohol justified a rise in fees by, 
referring to the rising cost of 
housing, transportation and 
food, and indicated tuition fees 


-should follow the same pattern. 


“Dr. Hohol recognized that 
job availability for students is. 
down 15 per cent from last year 
and that students must pay the’ 
higher costs of living, while 


Ansisting tuition fees should go 


up,” said Rand.

Gunning to step down 


by Donald Jacquest 


Dr. Harry Gunning has 
indicated he will not seek 
another term as president of the 
University. 

Gunning’s present term will 
expire June 30, 1979. Mr. Gun- 
ning announced his decision at 
the January 6 meeting of the 
Board of Governors (B of G); the 
notice was given at that early 
date to allow the U of A enough 
time to select a new president. 

The B of G fills the position 
of president by appointment 
based on the recommendations 
of a search and selection com- 
mittee which includes represen- 


tatives of the B of G, the General 
Faculties Council, the Students’ 
Union, the Graduate Students’ 
Association. 

They are'likely to make their 
decision early in 1979 so the B of 


G can make the final selection 


before President Gunning’s term 
expires, said U. of A Public 
Relations officer Barbara La 
Croix. 

Gunning was initially ap- 
pointed for a five year term in 
1974, 


Although the B of Gcanset

Forums with GENE THOMAS — Boulder, Colorado 


> 


Despite pleas from Cana- 
dian Labour Congress president 
Joe Morris, the Alberta Federa- 
tion of Labour has rejected 
tripartism. 

At the AFL convention 
Friday Morris argued for more 
than an hour why the regional 
federations should support 
tripartism, a system which has 
been adopted in several western 
European countries. 

Tripartism is a_ proposal 
outlined in the CLC Labour 
manifesto which would set up a 
committee of representatives of 
business, labour and the federal 
government to handle contract 
negotiations and cooperative in 
the development of Canadian 
economic strategies. 

But after the issue was 
debated on the convention floor, 


it was rejected by a narrow 
margin of 279 to 220. 

AFL © president Harry 
Kostiuk also argued in favor of 
the concept, which was first 
introduced in May of 1976 at the 


‘CLC convention in Quebec city. 


In his one hour speech to the 
convention, Morris argued the 


labor movement had to build up . 


its power as 
national force. 

“We've been committed to 
business unionism, sacrificing 
power we should have had at the 
national level. 

“What we win at the 
bargaining table, we lose in the 
legislatures and parliament.” he 
said. 

He said that labor had 
been unable to defeat wage 
controls because it was weakest 


a centralized 


_ ment. 


at the national level, where the 
‘collective muscle’ was needed 
most. 

He then argued that such 
national power could best be 
brought ‘to bear through a 
tripartide coalition between 
business, labor, and the govern- 
It is only through sucha 
coalition, he said, that ‘the 
weakness and vulnerability of 
the congress can be ended.’ 

Critics of the proposal say 
tripartism is-a threat to the 
parliamentary system of govern- 
ment and to the independence of 


‘the labor movement. 


“Tripar tide proposals have 
always represented an attempt to 
co-opt labor movements into 
high level discussions which do 
not threaten the domigant power 
of corporations and govern- 


Federal labour minister 
urges business to support 
tripartism 


by Don McIntosh 


Federal Minister of Labor 
John Munroe used his discussion 
of the U.S. government’s 
withdrawal from the _Inter- 
national Labor Organization to 
urge continued cooperation 

- between Canada’s economic sec- 
tors. 

In a speech delivered to the 
International Advisory Com- 
mittee of the Canadian Business 
and Industry association last 
month, Monroe said he was 
“saddened” by president Carter’s 
decision to leave the U.N. labor 
organization. 

He’ ‘said Canada would 
likely continue its support of the 
ILO because it felt the ILO 
principles were sound and he 
urged business leaders to reaf- 
firm their support. 

“We should stay in the ILO 
and prove that the democratic 
and free societies offer the best 
hope for all mankind.” 

The U.S. served a two year 
notice of withdrawal because it 
resented the fact many ILO 
delegates use the annual conven- 
tion as a forum for political 
debate. 

Monroe said the ILO was 
having its difficulties but urged 
Canadians “not to abandon the 
ILO to those who would misuse 
the rules.” 

His discussion of the ILO 
issue was a stepping stone to a 
discussion of cooperation and 
consultation as a model for 
Canadian industrial relations. 

He said he was frustrated by 
the unwillingness of business and 
labour to adopt a policy of 
consultation rather than con- 
frontation. Especially since both 
groups are represented on 


Canada’s ILO delegation, and 
have seen the benefits of con- 
sultation in the developed Euro- 
pean states. _ 


Despite his frustration, 
Monroe was optimistic there 
would bea change in this attitude 
of confrontation. 

He credited the wage and 
price control program for mak- 
ing this change possible. 

Monroe said he feared the 
erosion of support within the 
labour movement for the Cana- 
dian Labour Congress’ support 
of cooperation between govern- 
ment, labor, and business.

: 2 ~ Labour leaders 
Parasitic 


The original function of labour unions was to protect the 
workers from the horrid and exploitative working conditions 
under which they existed. Keeping 12 years olds from working 
14 hours a day in poorly lighted facilities was an honorable and, 
indeed, democratic service. But such functions, in Canada at 
least, are long since obsolete. 

Today we have the grand causes of the labour Unions 
including such essentials as: birthday’s off, a week off for the 
death of a relative, triple-time overtime, and increased 
holidays, all with pay. As it now stands, Canada’s productivity 
to output ratio is notimpressiveand is declining. Investment in 
_ this country, regardless of the Quebec situation is becoming 

negligible. Why should investment dollars be fed into this 

country only to be skimmed off by the parasitic labour union 

leaders. It is for this reason that I stand behind Syncrude 
~Canada’s decision to operate its plant without a union. 

The outcry against this “challenge of the workers” is not 
made by the workers themselves who are damn glad to get ajob 
such as the one at the Syncrude plant during this time of high 
unemployment, but rather by those Union leaders who see 
good carrion being lost. Thus the government is called 

“repressive” and “a bed partner for big business.” 

The hypocrisy of the Labour Unions is evident in the very 
basis of their purpose as well as in almost every statement their 
leaders make. These Unions demand “the right of workers to 
join a union of their choice to represent them at the bargaining 
table.” Their concern for the average worker is very touching. 
But what about the employee who does not want the heavy 
breath of the Union on his neck, nor their “benefits” nor their 
union “literature”? In a closed-shop this “right of the workers 
to join a union of their choice” simply does not exist, and it is 
not the fault of the “enemy” as some unions call the employer 
but rather because of the repressive nature of the union itself. 

If there is anything worse than a politician, it is a politician 
‘who moon-lights as a labour union spokesman. This is Grant 
Notley in a nutshell. His back-scratching support of the unions 
is so blatantly obvious that only a union delegate could fail to 
see its basic contradiction. 


‘I do not place the blame for Canada’s economic woes 
entirely upon Joe Worker or the Union which represents him. 
- But the wheel has turned full circle and it is no longer the 
employer who controls the wages and conditions of employ- 
ment, but rather the worker, through unions, who controls the 
employer. In order for Canada to compete economically in the 
world, she must earn her keep and, in order to do this, there 
must be some control upon the-wages and productivity of all 
workers. The self-regulating machine.of supply and demand is 
no more evident than in an area where competition exists. Each 
worker must be responsible for his own actions and poor 
productivity cannot be excused by the protective wings of the 
Labour Unions. I do not condemn the individual worker but 
only suggest each man be paid according to his worth; no more 
nor less. 

The exorbitant demands of the labour Unions will only 
serve to further compound Canada’s current economic chaos. I 
find the smell of the labour “movement” disgusting and their 

_ self-serving parasitic leaders equally so. If their misguided aims 
_could be written off as naivety, it wouldn’t be so bad, but the 
calculating manner in which their greed operates, at the 
expense of all workers, must be revealed to all; be they union- 

member, student or housewife. a

Israel colonialist state 


The 


Canadian Zionist 
Federation’s “Israel Week” is 
presenting a picture of Israel and 
Zionism that hides the facts. We 
would like to expose several 
facets of the Israeli state that 
show its true nature, that of the 
colonial-settler state established 
at the expense of the original 
inhabitants, the Palestinian peo- 
ple. 

Vast new Arab territories 
have been appropriated through 
the various wars waged by Israel 
since the partition of Palestine by 
the U.N. in 1947. This is blatant 
proof that the war “fought for 
defensive purposes only” as 
Israel said then, is yet another 
way of forcibly implementing 
expansionism. 

Since the military occupa- 
tion of the Sinai, the Gaza Strip, 
and the west bank of the Jordan, 
a different look at the “plight of 
the Jewish people fighting for 
their homeland” should be given 
by the apologists of the Israeli 
state. In our minds, Israel’s 
behaviour towards the Arab 
masses it holds under its heel 
hasn’t changed much since 1947 
when an Irgun commando 
massacred the 254 inhabitants of 
the village of Deir Yassin, so as 
to insure a future state with a 
homogeneous Jewish “popula- 
{iON} 6x" 

The Zionists expelled some 


700,000. Palestinians in the 
course of establishing the state. 
During and after the 67 was, 
500,000 Palestinians were driven 
from the newly occupied 
territory. 

Discrimination against the 
Palestinians is shown by the 
following facts: 1) in 1970, the 
average per capita income of 
Arabs inside Israel’s pre-’67 
borders was. only 40% of that of 
Jews; and 2) in 1973, while 25% 
of Israel’s Arab population lived 
four or more to a room, the 
corresponding figure for the 
Jewish population was 1.5%. 

Discrimination is so 
thorough that large Arab towns 
are officially classified as villages 
in order to minimize the amount 
of public money that they are 
eligible to receive. The Zionist 
regime also systematically denies 
new building permits for houses 
in Arab villages. In Jewish! »wns 
hundreds of apartment: are 
empty, but Arabs are forbidden 
to move there. 

Supporters of Zionism 
describe resistance of the Arab 
majority to this colonial enter- 
prise. as “anti-Semitic.” We'd 
simply like to emphasize that it is 
the reactionary politics of 
Zionism — not that the policies 
are carried out by Jews — that 
has provoked the struggle in 
Palestine. 


Therefore we consider the 
“Israel Week” and its glorifica- 
tion of the results of Zionist 
colonization as a painful stab in 
the back of the rights of the 
Palestinian people, in that it 
carries with it the seeds of 
colonialism sown by the Israeli 
state. The roots of war, con- 
sistently watered by Zionist 
oppression in Palestine, will only 
be pulled the day the demands of 
the Palestinian masses are 
satisfied. 

- compensation for the land 
and property that were taken 
from them. 

- the right to return to their 
former home. ; 

- the right to self d2te:mina- 
tion. 

- the establishment of a 
democratic secular Palestine in 
which Jews and Arabs can live 
together.

THE GATEWAY, Tuesday, January 24, 1978. 


Criticism of coverange answered 


When I began university, in 
September of 1976, I was bom- 
barded. with stories of student 
“apathy. it seemed that (some) U 
of A students were not interested 
in forthcoming elections, fee 
hikes, discrimination against 
fellow students, nor. anything 
else that concerned university life 
(besides beer, that is). As a 
consequence, | decided that to 
try to combat this apathy I must 
first begin with myself. One of 
the way I hoped to accomplish 
this task, I decided, was to read 
The Gateway since its function is 
to relay and promote student 
activities on campus. In this way 
I felt I would surely be kept up to 
date. However, after reading The 
Gateway for a year and a half, I 
can only say that I am disap- 
pointed. Rather than being 
enlightened by the newspaper, | 
feel more like a picture, in a 
darkroom, waiting to be 
developed 

Since J am an education 
student I pay particular attention 
to what is happening in my own 
faculty. In this respect, I find that 
either there is some promotion of 
an event and little follow up of 
what actually transpired, or 
there is no mention of the event, 
but there is a follow up story. In 
either instance, the student is no 


more informed as. to what is 
happening on campus than he 
was before he read the article. 
For example, just before the 
Christmas: break there. was an 
article in The Gateway saying 


that the SU Council had 
accepted the Education Ex- 
ecutive’s challenge and were 


donating «$100. What was this 
challenge and what was the 
purpose of it? | remember no 
mention of such a challenge in 
the newspaper before this accep- 
tance statement was put in by the 
SU Council. Also, couldn’t the 
Education Executive’s article 
concerning applications for VP 
Publicity receive better attention 
than the second to last page of 
Thursday’s issue (January 5, 
1978)? Shouldn’t a local issue, 
which can be potentially in- 


teresting to approximately 5,000. 


studénts, one quarter of the 
entire student ‘body, take 
precedence over something that 
happened on another campus or 
in another country? 

The question I want to ask 
now is, who’s fault is this? Is the 
Education Executive not submit- 
ting the information to your 
office on time so that you may 
cover the story? Or does The 
Gateway choose to ignore such 
trivia in favor ot such “meaty” 


affairs as the crisis in South 
Africa? Shouldn’t the local 
events be properly taken 
care of before outside events are 
discussed? | would like an answer 
to these questions, The Gateway 
and Education Executive. 
Perhaps you should curb your 
own apathy before placing the 
blame on the rest of the student 
body.

Education II 


Ed. Note: Your letter has 
prompted us to review some past 
copies of the Gateway for news 
concerning the education facul- 
ty. Admittedly, there have been 
times when we have neglected to 
give prominent coverage of 
events affecting education 
students, such as the applications 
for VP Publicity you mentioned. 
We do, however, take exception 
to your inference that we do not 
cover education. “events.” The 
challenge you spoke of was 
raised at the students’ council 
meeting one day before we 
produce the paper. We ran three 
stories on that meeting (one on 
the management-executive dis- 
pute, and two on the SU Task 
Force to Examine SU Struc- 
ture), which took precedence 


over what we decided was a 
minor point that we felt would 
have already have been discussed 
within your faculty. We received 
news of the SU’s acceptance of 
the challenge the night we put the 
paper together. Short notice, 
indeed. The challenge was for 
money for the Edmonton Christ- 
mas Bureau, as stated in the 
article, and was issued to all 
other faculty associations, as 
stated in the article. As for not 
covering events concerning 


education students, we refer you.

TRIAL 


Che Prophet 


-by Tehlal Ahmbraghin- 


“His power came from some great reservoir of Citric 
Acid, else he could not have been so tart and fruity; but 
the majesty and the beauty of the language with which 
he cloaked it were just re-cyclings of the same old basic 
linguistic building blocks.” 


And the Master was sitting over a small fire near the 
entrance of his cave; 

Composing a scroll to the Guardians of the Royal 
Treasury of Bala-tur; 

Setting forth why he thought they were being 
unreasonable about his last tax return; 


Explaining thus: “I had a large deficit at the beginning 
of last year; 


And_ Ihad even a larger deficit at the end of last year. 
My income is derived entirely from hoodwinking the 
public into believing I can do things which,in reality, I 
cannot; 

And my true occupation is the performance of various 
services to the public, which are thinly-disguised 
frauds; 

Wherefore should I not declare myself a branch of the 
Civil Service and claim tax-exempt status?” 


And a group of young women from the’ white towers 
of Bala-tur entered the cave; if 

And he hastily concealed the scroll; 

And they crossed his palm with silver and sat round the 
fire and said: 

Oh Master, speak to us of Beauty Contests; 

For the disciples who are studying to become engineers 
have plastered the halls of the white towers with 
contest posters bearing photographs of chicks; 

And yea, though we have suffered much chickenshit 
from the engineers; 

This “chick” chickenshit is truly a vexation to the 
spirit; 

And though we can understand the engineers, for they 
are among the “trainable retarded”; . 


Yet we cannot understand our sisters for allowing 


themselves to be judged like oxen or swine or mince — 


pies; 


7For. thus they do perpetuate the myth that all chicks are 
property of men - to be owned or Sampled 2 as men 
‘ _ choose, aie oh » aS 


And he listened earnestly and considered their words 
carefully before he spoke, saying: 

You perceive that this beauty contest is the old “divide 
and conquer”trick; 

And hence you criticize your sisters too harshly; 
But consider the long and noble history of the beauty 
contest and you will learn that it is you - their sisters - 
that they serve, and not the whimsy of men; 

For there was a time when the world was young and 
there were no beauty contests; 

And in those days the people lived in fear of evil 
pirates; 

Barbarians whose major pastimes were killing, 
pillaging, and raping (not necessarily in that order); 


Things were bad enough most of the time, but the 
situation was black indeed when the pirates held their 
“Fun Festival” once a year; 


For they would stage a BOOTY CONTEST and each 
pirate would sail forth, a-killing, a-pillaging, and a- 
raping; 

And at the end of a month, they would all return to 
port with chests of loot and the pirate with the fullest 
chest was declared the winner; 

The prize being a cute little black and white flag which 


__ was sewed together by Gloria, the mistress ok one of the 


pirates, for just this purpose; 

And which signified that the pirate who flew it from his 
mast was the world champion killer, pillager, and 
rapist. 

Now it came to pass that one year, when Gloria was 
sewing together the little flag, she got to thinking about 
all the poor women who were going t6 be killed and 


~ pillaged and raped just so that some pirate could hang 


this little piece of cloth on his mast; 

And she called together the mistresses of the other 
pirates to see if she could raise a little consciousness 
instead of a little flag; 

And one of the mistresses agreed with Gloria and said: 
“Tf all they want is full chests to compare, why don’t we 
offer them ours?” 

And the idea was quickly accepted and the details Were 
worked out: 

Each mistress would get her pirate to enter her in the 
Booty Contest and the pirate whose mistress had the 
fullest chest would get to fly the black and wits flag 


_ from his mast; 


And Gloria sewed up a different black and white flag - 
one with a skull and crossbones on it- very macho, so 
the pirates would think it was a big deal. 

Now many scrolls have been written about how the 
Royal Navy brought the age of piracy to an end; 
But do not believe it, my chicklets; it was the search for 
the fullest chest; for the Booty Contest became the 
Beauty Contest and Gloria sewed up so many little 
flags that she had to get eyeglasses, so successful was 
her idea; 

And much killing and pillaging and rapine was 
avoided, and since the pirates stayed home during their 
yearly “Fun Festivals” they begat a lot of little pirates; 
Whose descendents, like their forefathers carry on the 
chest quest and search about constantly for new 
booties;. 


And hold beauty contests every year, wherever they 
But it ‘Reene them from going out and killing aad 
pillaging and raping; 

So you chicks should thank your sister chicks, and sing 
their praises, for thus do they serve you and all 
chickenhood. 


And Alma, who had been graphing the results of her 
rat liver experiment at the rear of the cave, became 
captivated by this monologue, and bit by bit she had 
drawn nearer to the fire to listen as he spake; 

And she stood there shaking her head, and finally she 
spoke, saying: 

Honest to Allah! Iwish you could hear the garbage 
that comes out of your mouth sometimes! 

And he shooed her quickly to the back of the cave, 
saying through his teeth; 

Don’t knock it kid! It pays for your 18-Hour Playtexes 
and your ranch minks. 


And he returned to his guests to see if they had any 


more questions; 

And one of the chicks by the fire asked: 

Are you saying Beauty Contests are a good thing? 
To which he nodded,“Yes.” 

And are you saying there is no reason for us to worry? 
And the Master replied: Not exactly; 

For as long as it was only maids and mistresses in the 
booty contests and the only things being compared 


were full chests, things were well in hand, so to speak; 
But now that chicks are entering beauty contests, some_ 


son-of-a-pirate is going to suggest a Clucking and 


Laying Contest! is 
Poor Gloria’s eyesight may have been lost in vain! 
And they nodded sadly, for they could see that hard 
times might come upon them; 

And one of them said, slowly: 

So...there’s nothing wrong with Beauty Contests... af 
chicks would just stay out of them. 

And he smiled and replied: 


ae SAID it, lady!

Teacher unemployment in Alberta 


Calgary CUP 

The employment rate of 
teachers who graduated from the 
University of Calgary in 1977 is 
low, and dropping elementary 
enrolment will not improve job 
opportunities in Alberta in the 
future. 

Only 20% of the 508 
graduates interviewed by the 
Calgary School Board. were 
hired, according to figures from 
Dr. Palson of the personnel 
office. Of the total intervied, 38 
were hired for secondary school 
positions, 61 for elementary 
schools, and 2 appointed for 
special education . 

“At the moment, Alberta 


POPPA EE 


school populations will not 
increase.” Palson said. “The only 
new jobs that will be created will 
be those caused by the normal 
ten percent turnover rate. There 
will be no new positions 
created.” 

Palson said Calgary and 
Alberta will probably have a 
shortage of teachers in four years 
because of dropping enrolment 
in Education. 

Education students were 
not so optimistic about their 
future. “hat ten percent tur- 
nover rate includes teachers 
transferring from school to 
school. This increases the 
turnover percentage, but won’t 


Gotother 
_ of theclas 


create new jobs.” said one stu- : 


dent graduating this spring. 

There is a shortage of 
substitute teachers according to 
regular teachers in the Calgary 
school system. A 1977 graduate 
explained that “Substitute 
teachers who are called out once 
or twice a week have to look for 
other jobs to survive. This allows 
the substitute teachers who 
remain get more teaching in, but 
even they can barely meet their 
bills.” 


He also pointed out that. 


many graduate students have 
student loans to repay, and 


substitute teaching just doesn’t _ 


p 


pay enough. 


Parks 
Master Plan 


Edmonton Parks and 
Recreation wants students’ 
opinions to help create a Master 
Plan on city parks for 1979-1983. 

The plan will guide the 
development of parks and

and is to be based on the needs 
and preferences of the public. 

To discuss priorities and

plan, attend the public meeting

printed a very’ inaccurate 
headline: SFU students beat

Registrar's burearcracy, form after form 


How can a student loose 
$105.75 and three courses? Easi- 
ly, let the university bureaucracy 
handle your affairs and _ it 
happens every time, like it or not. 


Today, (January 10) I went 
about securing the second dis- 
bursement of my Canada Stu- 
_dent Loan. I went first to the 
bank where I received the proper 
form, then to the third floor of 
the registrar’s office to have the 
form validated. I ..mean that’s 
what you’re supposed to do, 
right? — WRONG! 


At the registrar’s office I was 
informed that they Would not 
validate my disbursement form 
because | was no longer a full 
time student. Whoa there - hey 
buddy, that’s news to me. | mean 
sure I’m in the integrated student 
teacher program consisting of 
three education . practicum 
courses and only one education 
curriculum instruction course, 
but that education curriculum 
instruction course is actually a 
full term course compressed into 
one semester and counts the 
same as a full year course — six 
credits. 


Not true they say; you’ve 
dropped three courses, even 
received a refund of $105.75 on 
the first disbursement of your 
student loan. On October 
24th/77, says so right here. 


I never received no such 
refund says I and as faras I know 
I’m registered in all my education 
practicum courses and my 
education curriculum instruc- 
tion course — my instructor told 
me so! 


Nope, says right here you’ve 
dropped three courses and 
received that refund so before we 
validate anything you'll have to 
add back on those three courses. 


Stunned but not undaunted, 
| hurried back to the education 
building from whence I had 
commenced my quest, and got to 
the eighth floor education office 
one minute after their noon 
closing and was greeted by 
silently locked doors. Stomach 
grumbling ominously and «still 
undaunted I went to the second 
floor of the education library to 
drown my sorrows in back issue 
Sports Illustrated magazines. 


One o’clock and with twenty 
other hopefuls, I flowed into the 
office somewhere near the end of 
the line, but as the main educa- 
tion office is a huge affair with a 
long counter and. many 
secretaries, it was not too long 
before I was greeted and queried 
as to the cause of my distress. 

I always have difficulty 
explaining my problems, es- 
pecially when I don’t understand 
them myself. Well you see 
somehow | lost three courses and 
I don’t know what happened to 
them. (1 didn’t explain that until 
that morning I had been a 
reasonably happy and secure, 
albeit penniless, education stu- 
dent.) And as far as I knew 1 was 
in those courses, even my in- 
structor thought so. 


Well let’s see here, on here it 
is, yes well you’re not in those 
courses because you took them 
last semester, see ... eight courses 
in one semester! 

Huh? 


Yeah, there you are, they’re 


all here all right, all nine courses 


and you took eight last semester | 


so you have only one now. | 


Well that’s not exactly true. 
(I know I’m good but I’m not 
that good.) So while I grinned 
unhappily, and began the tedious 
exercise of filling out my course 
add form, the secretary began 
tracing down the whereabouts of 
the three education practicum 
courses I’d supposedly taken but 
had no knowledge of. Thankful- 
ly it was determined that I'd 
taken only five courses the 
semester before and they were 
the ones I remembered taking. 
The others had accidently been 
listed as being taken then and 
that was just a typographical 
error -after all. Yes, I was 
registered in my three education 
practicum courses and it was just 
some sort of (macabre) mixup. 


Oh great — now what do | 
do to get out of this mess? 

Oh well yes, just go see Miss 
— at the registrar’s office and 
she'll fix you up. 

Well, thank you for all your 
trouble, bye, And hurried back 
to the registrar’s office. 

After standing behind the 
wrong desk for two minutes, | 
was directed to the right desk 
where | stood trying to look 
intelligent for a further five or so 
minutes. Then Miss — told me 
she would accompany me to the 
cashier’s office upstairs where 
she would talk to one of the 
cashiers and I would get my loan. 


to stand at the front of the line 
and look more stupid than | felt. 

What timing! As soon as my 
turn came up my angel of mercy 
arrived with my reprieve. Thanks 
very much for your trouble, bye! 

Oh of course we’ll have to 
deduct $105.75 from this to cover 
the amount of the refund. 


Sure | said.. (Anything, 
anything!) 

So off to the bank, anxious 
for an end and not on the trail of 
the missing $105.75. 

Oh hello, back again. 

Right. 

Well yes and you know 
there will be a cover charge of 
50¢ to cover the cost of transferr- 
ing the $105.75 to the registrar’s 


office. 


That figures. 

1 debated whether I would 
confess all my _ afternoon’s 
frustrations. She had such a 
gentle countenance and sym- 
pathetic smile. I settled for news 
of my $105.75. 

What’s 
number? 

— — says I. 

Not there says she. Have 
you any other accounts here? 

Yeah, a chequing account. 

What’s that number? 

— — says I. 

Wasn’t on your statement? 

Not that I know of. 

Since I was going to get 


your -account 


it to me at the door on my way 
out. 

Oh you mean instead of 
$1200, I get $1100 says I. 


No, PU explain ‘it to you 
later she said. 


Okay, so I completed my 
business, except that I forgot to 


pay my overdue phone bill, and _ 


went to her desk by the door. 


Well here it is, see, the 
$105.75 was refunded to you here 


and it was deducted from the 
total:of your loan so instead of 
owing a total of $3210, you owe 
only $3105. 


In other words, instead of - 


receiving $1200 this time, I get 
only $1100 says I. 
Yes-s says she, smiling sym- 
pathetically. 
Right. Thanks a lot for your 
trouble, bye.

An Interview with Joe Mor

centre of discussion. 


Tapscott. 


Joe Morris is president of the Canadian Labour Congress 
(CLC). In his address to the Convention of the Alberta Federation of 
Labour (AFL) in Edmonton, January 18-20, he focused on the need 
of labour to strengthen and centralize its power as a national force 
and to exert this power through a tripartide committee of labour, 
business and government. Such a tripartide proposal would replace 
the present collective bargaining system used in labour negotiations 


A heated debate on the question of tripartism followed Morris’ 
speech to the AFL and despite a spirited defence of the concept, 
delegates voted against it by a margin of 279 to 220. 

x At the upcoming CLCconvyention in April of 1978, the issues of 
| tripartism, national unity,-labour’s relationship to the NDP and 
labour’s strategy to fight unemployment and inflation will be at the 


Morris will step down as president at that time..He was 
interviewed immediately after a pressconference that followed his 
address to the AFL convention, January 20, for the Gateway, by Don 


Tapscott, 30, is presently writing his master’s thesis in research 
methodology. He has been involved with labour organizations for 
some years now and was a socialist condidate in theEdmonton 
mayorality race in September of the last year. 


Gateway: This morning in your speech 
to the convention you outlined the 
deteriorating situation facing most 
working people. You gave some 
statistics — inflation is at 9.5 percent 
and_ rising: unemployment is at 8.5 
percent and the Conference Board of 
-Canada just predicted that it also will 
rise in ’78. But you said that the statistics 
don't tell the whole story. What did you 
mean by that? 

Morris: Well, people talk so much about 
statistics, that we forget they are 
referring to the real lives of real human 
beings who are suffering deeply because 
of the economic crisis of this country. If 
you don’t know an unemployed person, 
to you it’s just a figure on a piece of 
paper. The only time unemployment is 
visible, is when it’s a friend, a neighbour 
or a relative who is unemployed or it you 
live in a small mining town or small 
lumber town, for example, where the 
market is bad, and everybody is un- 
employed. There are places. in this 
country where, in’ some towns and 
villages, unemployment runs over 80 
percent. Now that’s a real stark view of 
unemployment. But-you see, in the big 
cities and bigger communities un- 
employed people tend to hide 
themselves, because most of us in this 
country have grown up with the protes- 
tant work ethic, where an idle person is 
an evil person. And because people hide 
the fact, we believe the unemployment 
situation is much worse than people 
understand. It’s not visible except in 


certain areas. People have become 
hardened. Like, what’s the difference 
between 9 and 9.5 percent unemploy- 
ment? They don’t realize that the extra 
.5 percent is another 50,000 people. 


Gateway: This morning you said wage 
controls were. simply a crude and 
arbitrary way of destroying the collec- 
tive bargaining process. Now, in addi- 


- tion to inflation eating away at the 


standard of living of working people, 
there is massive and growing unemploy- 
ment. What does the CLC plan to do 
over the next while to change this 
situation? 

Morris: We have a big program un- 
derway identifying the problem of 
unemployment in the community. We 
are trying to put a human face on 
unemployment. We’re trying to show 
unemployment is a pervasive thing in 
the economy. It is something that is just 
not going to go away. It’s here, and its 
going to be with us for a long time. As 
long as our government pursues the 
policies it is pursuing, which is slowing 
down the economy, and as long as we 
are growing at a rate less than 5.5 
percent, the unemployment problem 
will increase. To even start to hold our 
own, we have to grow at a rate greater 
than five percent. And if we are going to 
eliminate the unemployment problem 


we are going to have to start growing at 


more than a rate of 5.5 percent. That’s 


‘even to start to break the unemployment 


problem.

Gateway: But concretely, what plans - 


does the CLC have to start to combat 
this problem? 

Morris: Well, after we have finished our 
studies about the situation we are going 
to compile what we have done and place 
it. before the government with, our 
suggestions of how we would like to 
tackle the problem. 

Gateway: Okay, skipping back a bit, 
after the labour national day of protest, 


~ of October 14, the press reported the 


event as a~ big flop; that it hadn’t 
succeeded in realizing any of the 
objectives the labour movement had 
outlined. Do you agree with the media’s 
interpretation of the event? 


Morris:Of course not. | feel the protest 
was a great success. To get over one 
million people out in the short time we 
had — the logistics of such a thing are 
fantastic — ours is a large country, 
countries in Europe would have had 
nowhere near the problem we had in 
organizing a national protest, and as a 
matter of fact, we exceeded all of our 
expectations. I predicted the highest 
percentage. of people but even I was 
under the actual amount of, what the 
results were. But here again, people play 
the numbers game. They think, well, 
they only got 50 % of their people out. 
Remember, this was the first time in the 
history of this country that anyone tried 
an exercise in politicaldissent. It was not 
a strike, because we weren’t striking 
against an employer. What we were 
doing was exercising political dissent in 
order to bring home to the people the 
depth of our feelings with respect to 
wage and price controls. And it’s a very 
strange thing: what we said on the day 
that wage and price controls were 
initiated is now being repeated by many 
people in the business community and 
by many economists. We have not 
swung around to the belief that the wage 
and price controls not only have not 


‘done the job for which they were 


intended, but they have in effect been a 
drag on the economy and have slowed 
down .any possible move towards 
recovery. And this, of course, has been 


the case in other places where they kept 


controls on too long. 

Gateway: Will we see any other actions 
like October 14 in the future? 

Morris: Well, 1 don’t know, it would 
depend on circumstances. | think the 
fact that we have demonstrated that it 
can be done is something that the 
powers to be should take their graces of. 


It may be a very different sort of 


demonstration in future.

TRUFFAUT 


DOUBLE BILL 


Gateway: Rosemary Spears of the 
Toronto Star says you are writing a 
series of position papers which revitalize 


‘the tripartite proposals for the CLC 


convention. Is this true? 

Morris: Well, 1don’t know where Rosey 
gets her information from. It is true that 
I am preparing a series of papers but I 
don’t write papers in justification of 
anything, I am preparing policy papers 
which will go to our convention, which 
will broaden the element of the policies 
and which will enlarge upon certain 
aspects of policy which we heretofore 
have not enlarged upon. 


Gateway: This morning you. quite 
energetically defended tripartism. But 
as you know, considerable opposition to 
tripartism has developed within the 
labour movement since the last CLC 
convention. CUPE, Canada’s largest 
union just voted. against it in its 
Vancouver national convention. The 
Canadian Union of Postal Workers 
opposes it, as do other unions. Louis 
Laberge, one of the new/y-won op- 
ponents of .triprtism has argued that he 
opposes a _ partnership or formal 
collaberation with business, govern- 
ment and labour because it would 
always be a case of two versus one — 
that is business and government versus 
labour. (Louis Laberge is:the president 
of the Quebec Federation of Labour) 

Morris: That’s nonsense. Monsier Le 


‘Berge attended a. so-called summit 


meeting between the syndicate de 
patrionale, the Levesque government 
and himself. You know it’s this sort of 
thing that bothers me — when some of 
these people publicly take a position 
against tripartism and yet they’re in- 
volved in it at the provincial level. And 
at conventions like this it’s easy to get 
people to vote against things especially 
if you don’t tell them both sides of the 
story. If you tell them both sides of the 
story, its sometimes a different thing. 
Gateway: In the Agenda for Action 
drafted at the CUPE convention, it says 
that supporting tripartism tends to 
mean that labour has given up all hope 
of a labour-oriented government com- 
ing to power. Have you given up hope of 
seeing the NDP elected? 

Morris; That’s a lot of nonsense. There 
has been tripartite machinery in Austria 
before they ever had a socialist govern- 
ment and they had it in Germany before 
they had a socialist government. It was 
brought into Sweden under a minority 
socialist government. So it’s not 
necessary to havea socialist government 
to bring it in. I hold the view that it

might be better in the long run to bring 
that mechanism in under the present 
government other than a socialist 
government because then there would 
be no tampering with the kinds of rules 
and regulations. You would have no 
feeling of sympathy for the government. 
There would be a push to get the tightest 
guidelines and regulations regarding the 
mechanism’s operations under a 
government that is not socialist. I don’t 
buy the theory that just because you 
have a socialist government they will do 
everything that you want, because after 
all, they have to govern all of the people 
regardless. And we have always said 
that while we aspire as a political party 
we don’t want special interest govern- 
ment, because all of the others — the 
Conservatives, Liberals, Social Credit 
— have. all been special interest 
governments and we have not benefited 
from them and we don’t want that sort 
of thing to happen with a governmentef 
our own because see what’s happening 
in Manitoba. All of the good work that 
the New Democratic government did 
there is now being undone by the right 
wing Conservative government. They 
are firing people right and left, they are 
dismantling the social security changes 
that were put in, and so forth. 
Gateway: You've mentioned some oj the 
Western European countries, yet in 
your talk this morning you were critical 
of the kinds of collaborative models 


which have been established in Scan-~ 


danavia, West Germany and Sweden. In 


fact, you said that labour leaders in 


those countries would prefer to have the 
kind of collective bargaining which we: 
have; or at least had before controls, in 
Canada. How would you see tripartism 
in Canada being different? 

Morris: Well, the whole genesis of the 
idea is different. It’s based on a 
development that would take place and 
would oversee certain functions within 
the structure, a key one of which would 
be a labour market board responsible 
for reporting through a minister to the 
government and would also have the 
power to publish. For example, if the 
government said it wasn’t going to 
accept its advice, the board would have 
the right to put its advice before the 
public regardless — ina manner that the 
Economic Council does at the present 
time, and | think the very nature of this 
structure being forced to report, to 
parliament, being given certain 
definitive tasks, and with an indepen- 
dent research capability, that it would 
have much more influence and it would 
not be involved in the collective bargain-

this 


ing area. Wheréas in Sweden, Germany, 
Austria and other places, all of the 
bodies they have formed operate 
primarily in the collective bargaining 
area. They have national agreements. 
We don’t want that — we are not ready, 
nor do I think we need them in the 
foreseeable future. So we are talking 
about the instruments in its operation 
within the legislative structure, and not 
within the collective bargaining struc- 
ture. 


unions. We do have some differences on 
occasion, and I suppose in some cases 
there are differences in stand rather than 
in substance and other times there are 
differences of understanding and of 
appreciation of the affects of certaih 
policies on the trade unions. But by and 
large, the NDP fairly accurately reflect 
the policies of the trade unions, and I 
think it’s the sort of political party that 
within the political structure in Canada 
is the only viable one for the trade

Gateway: There has been substantial 
criticism of the NDP since the introduc-

that raised by Jean Claude Perrault, 
who at a labour day speech in Hamilton 
questioned whether or not the NDP is 
really a labour party and that perhaps a

-unions — because it is in effect a party 


that is not limited to trade union people, 
it covers a wide spectrum of Canadian 
society. And for any party to be viable 
within the Canadian parlimentary 
context, it must cover a wide spectrum 
of Canadian society. 

Gateway: Some NDP leaders such as Ed 
Broadbent have said the proposals for 
tripartism tend to lead the labour

accept that?

policy paper. I think if it has any real 
fault it is that we wrote it too tightly. We 
didn’t give enough explanation of what 
we were at all, but then in the trade 
union movement you expect that people 
will understand when you put a trade 
union policy out — you expect that they 
will understand what the trade union 
policy is about — but I suppose if we 
hadn’t introduced the idea, tripartism 
would have got no flak. I suppose I 
know more about tripartism and how it 
Operates than anybody in Canada, 
because I operate at the international 
level. I operate in the tripartite structure 
and I see the value of it, I see how it 
works, I see how it can be beneficial. 
When you write papers, you expect and 
believe that other people will unders- 
tand them. Obviously, I was working on 
a different track than what they were but 
I think that there is no misunderstan- 
ding of it now, that it is not really viewed 
in many places with the same sort of 
horror that it was viewed with- 
before. 


Gateway: Finally, I'd like to ask you, 
about the labour point of view on 
national unity. As I’m sure you're 
aware, a number of unions have taken a 
position in support of the right of 
Quebec to decide it’s own future, 
including to separate free from any 
forms of coersion from English Canada. 
These include Auto, Steel and Postal 
workers along with CUPE. Louis 
Laberge ‘has. said he’s going to wage 
“war” within the labour movement to 
win it-to support the right of Quebec 
alone to determine its future. Tf such a 
motion comes up at the CLC conven- 
tion would yousupport it?’ The CLC 
convention will be held in April. ) 


Morris: ?m sure we’d have an in- 
teresting discussion. I’d be very in- 
terested to hear it. 


Gateway: But what would your position 
on such a motion be? 


Morris: | suppose my position will come 
out at the Congress. Yes, I have some 
views, but I intend to discuss them 
internally within the movement. It’s too 
close to a convention for me to be 
prognasticating about what should be 
the policy of the Congress with respect 
to the question of national unity, 
excecpt to say that the Congress is 
commited to a united Canada.

The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra’s concert 
this past weekend ended in a triumph for Maestro 
Pierre Hetu. His reading of the Brahms First 
Symphony was one of the most exciting and satisfying 
performances of a really big masterpiece the ESO has 
yet given us. Hetu firmly grasped the structure of this 
very architectural work but never did the dramatic or 
emotional aspects suffer as a result. From the strong, 
alert opening to the blazing coda the performance had 
precisely that inevitability which the ESO’s Beethoven 
Fifth lacked last week. One particular passage in the 
Brahms where many conductors fail to tighten the 
screws is the meno Allegro (last 17 measures) of the first 
‘movement, but Hetu’s horn and tympani relentlessly 
maintained the tension. 

Strings were excellent, rich and passionate in the 
big. moments, and only occasionally were they 
drowned out in brass passages. Their dynamic control 
in the fourth movement’s. pizzicati sections was 
electrifying. The horn ‘and first violin’s concerted 
passage in the second movement’s climax was power- 
ful} Keene’s playing being especially full-bodied. 

The trio of the scherzo, in keeping with Hetu’s 
quasi-Toscanini approach, was more menacing than 
usual, and the full brass before the opening grazioso 
returns was big and agitated. 

But the final movement is the real test in this 
Symphony because. it goes through such astonishing 
and abrupt changes in mood, and to pronounce the 
triumphant ending too soon is to rob the final pages of 
their conclusive power. Hetu, even after the music was 
clearly moving towards light, still fully expressed the 
doubts which arise in brief introspective moments, 
while some conductors tend to ride comfortably over 
them, thus making them insignificant. 

It was a splendidly sustained performance, and at 
the tumultuous applause the orchestra declined from 
standing in order that Hetu could have a solo bow. 
Some players even joined in the applause. 

It was a splendid ending to what was an uneven 
concert. Danses Concertantes, the first work, is one of 
Stravinsky’s most appealing. It is purely abstract music 
and even though it should evoke the dance, Stravinsky 
meant it strictly for the concert hall and was not happy 
with any of the ballets devised for it. Much of the 
work’s delight resides in its intricate rhythms and 
syncopation which are, alas, formidable to play. I had 


. 


The View from Left Centre 


edmonton symphony orchestra 


the feeling the players were all counting like mad, and 
the work sounded tense, careful and cold, rather than 
charming and tuneful in an acrid way. Brass notes 
weren’t clean in the work’s opening bars, nor at the 
fourth variation’s opening in the Theme Varie. There’s 
a lovely tune in the first violins halfway through the 
Pas de Deux which almost swings, but the ESO played 
it squarely and deadpan. Not to belabour it, the sense 
of the dance never came across clearly. No doubt the 
work needs considerable rehearsal time, and one week 
isn’t long enough. (There are usually- two or three 
weeks between concerts.) Inany event their handling of 
Brahms’ tricky rhythms was like a different organiza- 
tion. 

The evening’s soloist was Jaime Laredo, the 
Bolivian violinist who now residés in the U.S. He 
played Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto, K. 216. Laredo 
is a Musician’s musician and plays Mozart better than 
most of his colleagues because he has the absolute 
technical control and the inward quality necessary. His 
tone is sweet and firm, passionate but scaled for I8th- 
century music. 

The second movement is probably the loveliest 
written by the young Mozart (he was then 19), and 
Laredo played it as pure song. I’ve never heard anyone 
control this movement so sweetly without making it 
cloying. The movement’s end was breathtaking in its 
hushed serenity. : 

The Rondo finale was played delicately but 
playfully by Laredo although he took several descen- 
ding runs roughly (like Heifetz does for dramatic 


effect) which clashed with his patrician interpretation. 
But this is a small quibble in what was a very fine 
performance. 

At titaes-the orchestra strove for a larger, more 
dramatic approach which created a disparity once 
Laredo entered. Since the orchestra played without the 
ultimate crispness or classicism wanted, one had to 
enjoy Laredo ‘out of context’ sometimes. 

The~ first movement’s cadenza was by. Ernst’ 
Frank, a minor 19th century German conductor/com- 
poser. The other two short cadenzas were Laredo’s 
own. His encore on Friday was a gavotte from the 
unaccompanied Third Partita of Bach. In his clarity of 
tone and command of the work’s inner life he showed 
again what a true and admirable musician he is. 
RECORDINGS 

Laredo’s recording of the Mozart is top-notch, 
and backed with the Bach A-minor concerto. It’s on 
RCA Victrola, hard to get in Canada. Oistrakh with 
the Philharmonica (Angel), and Loveday with 
Marriner and St. Martins-in-the-Field (Argo) are also 
excellent. The Stravinsky is delightfully played by 
Colin Davis and the English Chamber Orchestra 
(L’Oiseau Lyre). Brahms’ First-has many fine prac- 
titioners. My favourite is the old Toscanini, on RCA 
Victrola with the three other symphonies of Brahms. 
All are great performances, and this is a landmark 
recording (4 Ips). If stereo is a must try the Kertesz 
version (London), Loughran (Classics for Pleasure, 
budget label), or Haitink (beautifully played, and fine 
sound) on Philips.

Guitar, dobro and mean mandolin... 


Holger phoned me last week and told me I should 
interview the Dillards if | wanted. Well I’ve got many 
fond memories of the Dillards from when they made- 
appearances at the Hovel, sol said it would be OK with 
me. When | went down to the interview I found I had 
Rodney Dillard and Dean Webb to talk to. Rodney 
plays guitar and dobro real well.and is the lead singer in 

_ the band, and Dean plays mean mandolin. 

Artists like the Dillards are interesting in terms of 
the record business, popularity and such because they 
often don’t record for big labels, and even when they 
have, don’t usually receive the promotion that a big 
label is capable of giving a band. Word of mouth and 
other such low-level marketing takes place and such 
artists seem able to build a following, sell records and 
sustain their popularity more so than those who ride 
record company publicity machines. The interview: 
starts off with that in mind. 


KL: What’s your popularity like over the continent? Is 
it regional or is it prettv widespread? 


DW: I think its fairly widespread. We play all over 
the country and various clubs and areas we go back to, 
we do build a following ... like I say, a club like the 
Cellar Door in Washington, D.C. — you build a 
following and they come to see you. I can see it happen: 
You go there and its the first time you go and you go 
the second time and its better than the first. And so on 
from there. So you do build in an area. 


KL: Do you prefer to play a standing gig for a week or 
two weeks? $ 


DW: No we hardly ever do that. We prefer to do one- 
nighters, really. We do very few clubs that we do over 
say, two.nights. Its rare to do even three nights in one 
place though we still do that at the Cellar Door. 


KL: You like to travel ... 


DW: I can’t see where we really like it, but it doesn’t 
really bother us either, you-know, its part of the thing 
and you have to travel if you’re doing this. You have to 
get around and you have to go to all these areas and see 
how your records are doing and talk to various radio 
stations, newspaper people, and its all part of the 
promo for the product you’re turning out. — 


KL: There’s not many people doing that anymore. 


_ DW: Well, I guess that’s true. A lot of them probably 
doi: have to. They’y* probably got enough people 
taking care of things anc whatever hat they feel they 
dot have to take 4 peisonai iiana in their promoend™ 
of it. We don’t mind it, we kind of enjoy it, really, its an 
interesting challenge. It is a chance to get around the 
country and meet a lot of people. You get so many 


Ensemble Vocal 


by Bruce Norris 


The Ensemble Vocal Michel Gervais will be in 
concert this Friday, the 27th of January at College St. 
Jean. I recently interviewed the group’s conductor, M. 
Michel Gervais, to provide Gateway’s readers with a 
better idea of its nature and pursuits. 

Formation: The Ensemble began practising in 
September of 1976 and now has 16 members. These are 
people with musical backgrounds, but not necessarily 
as singers. 

Goals: To perform “serious” but entertaining 
music suitable for such a size of group, keeping high 
musical standards. Each piece is sung in its original 
language. 

Languages: So far, works have been done in 
English, French, German, Swedish, Danish, Latin, 
Hungarian ... and — Eskimo! 

Exposure: The Ensemble took part ina Channel 
11 production called “Visage”, and their April ’76 
concert was televised nationally by the CBC. 

Music Chosen: A variety of styles is the objective 
here. Canadian pieces, less-known- works and a good 
portion of 20th-century materials are included. This 
Friday’s concert includes a work by a local young 
composer, Robert Rosen. They’ve also done one by 
Violet Archer, who is a professor in the U of A Music 
Department. 

Support: Two Secretary of State Grants have 
been put to good use by the ensemble and they’d love to 
sell you a ticket to Friday’s show. They belong to the 
Alberta Choral Association. 

Immortality: The Ensemble has recorded many of 
its rehearsals and concerts but has not yet done a 
_ record. - 
-A dual function has been and is being served by 

the Ensemble: Both the singers and the public are 
getting valuable exposure to obscure and very modern 
music. There is no more pedantic aim here but an 
opportunity to experience intriguing and very different 
pounds. for the curious eng thinking listener. 


different ideas about the way people think about things 
rather than being in one place, one city, it wouldn’t 
matter what city it was really. It would be some kind of 
a pocket culture situation if you did, just being in one 
place all the time. 


KL: Do many songs come out of that? 


DW: Oh yeah, influences go into the music from all 
sorts of means. There’s influences from all sorts of 
music. So many of the acts have experimented within 
the bluegrass thing with another thing, whatever it is, 
and gotten into a music of their own. There’s a lot of 
interesting music come out of that sort of bluegrass 
school of people. They’re not old school, but the new 
school, they’re still a very traditional element. I don’t 
even feel that Bill Munro is that traditional anymore 
but I think Ralph Stanley probably is more traditional, 
he’s sort of the head of the traditional school in 
bluegrass ... he still does the real old mournful-type 
things about the south and Texas that talks about 
death and various things because those things to those 


people, that’s the only real statement — their gospel 


music is the only real serious comment they make 
about anything. I mean Stanley did a song about the 


flood in *57’ they had a song about a school bus wreck’ 


that killed a bunch of children but generally in 
bluegrass that’s the only serious statement about 
anything, they just don’t get political or whatever. The 
rest of its all pretty light. About how mountain girls 
can love or bar songs or whatever. 


KL: Whiskey songs, dog songs ... 


DW: Yeah, some of them would do that ... but Munro 
you see would never do bar songs. He was anti that 
element (drinking) so that was out. But a lot of the 
groups got into Flatt and Scruggs, Reynold Snyder got 
into the drinking songs ... you know its a value thing 
what they thought was a valid beef to make a song 
about. We always tried to stay away froma lot of that 
sort of stuff, the triangle songs. We thought that was 
well enough covered by other groups,.that it was a little 
shoddy for us todo. We didn’t respect that that much, 
thinking it had already been done. We’ve done a lot of 


"dog songs, drinking, well you know drinking, from the 


standpoint of making whiskey. Things that relate to 
Ozark culture. You’re associated with a region and 
people expect you to have something in your repertoire 
about stills, whiskey. Ok, but one song pretty much 
covers it. 


KL: You were talking about getting a single together, 
what kind of plans have you got for that? I’m talking 
about the position of the band — it’s never really been a 
commercial . 


it on. 


RD: Success? 
KL: Well, its been a success but hever on AM radio. 


RD: I would like to have a hit record, its just that I 
don’t know if I’d like to use the Dillards as the guinea 
pig to do that. I may. All-I can do is cut what the 
Dillards are believable in doing and hope that there is 
something that could-be a single. That can happen ... 
but I also like the idea of going out to get a single and 
cutting a record that is oriented for commercial 
purposes. 


KL: Is there still any regionalism in AM radio? 


RD:No. Because of the trade magazines and the media 
everybody follows the trends. You know how 
communications are. | think you can still have an R & 
B hit and not make it on the top 40, but as far as 
regional hits, they happen, but its not like it used to be 
because everybody’s playing about what the leaders 
are. It’s all fast bucks now, corporate music, corporate 
rock ... 


KL: Mass culture ... 


RD: Just the independent free-form stations and_ 
people with balls enough to play music they like (give 
anything that isn’t trendy a chance). Course that 
doesn’t make it necessarily good but at least they have 
the freedom of choice. Everybody’s just plugged into 
the main artery, their tastes are governed by the people 
who see figures on paper rather than anything else. 


KL: Have you ever tried Europe? 


RD: Yeah, we were over there this spring, fora month 
doing one-nighters. We’re going back in the fall, 
Brussels, France, Holland, Germany and we're trying 
to get a thing up to go to Japan and Australia. 


KL: Are you selling many records in Europe? 


RD: Well, you know what? Evidently we sold enough 
records in Europe for Elektra to re-release a composite 
of all our albums on one album and they never do that 
unless you’ve sold some records. Relative to our 
success we’re selling records in Europe pretty straight 
— we're not selling millions, but we’re selling enough 
to be successful for the label. Being on a small label you 
can be a bigger frog than on a large label, where if you 
don’t sell a hundred downs they drop you the next day. 


KL: Do you write much of your own material? 


RD: We used to, we still write but we don’t necessarily 
record because I’m a believer in everything we write 
being not valid enough to record. But I don’t feel that if © 
I don’t think the thing is valid for an album I won’t put

You can give me a 


by Wayne Kondro 

Seems all of the characters in the Glenn Rollans 
play Touched are slightly touched. A veritable picture 
of domestic bliss is interrupted by a walk-on TV 
repairman, who momentarily has Jackie under his 
belt, before biting the dust to the wiles of the television 
set. 

Doubtless, playwright Rollans would rather we 
focus on the psyches of the married couple. The wife, 
Jackie, vacillates (among others) between the 
domineering mop-up-the-floor-after-her-little-boy 
mother (this does happen), the tough-bitch-lady (for a 
split second | thought she should be holding a whip) 
and the bleary eyes-in-the-sky romantic bemusingly 
ignoring and succumbing to the wiles of her childlike 
husband, Dale. As for the husband he is alternately, 
childlike, a war-hero, a dreamer, half a drag queen, a 
display piece and a coward, He is accidentally aware of 
Jackie’s susceptibility (but does not exploit it) and 
timorously representative of the tragic absurdity of life 

(sic) if only through his sense of insecurity. 

What to do. If playwright Rollans had developed 
the possibilities for inanity and/or insanity the play 
would truly have been of enigmatic duality. It’s too bad 


~ but I suspect the duality of the title-theme is meant to 


be the electrocution and the momentary touching of 


: Playwriting: 


bullet, but to bite on 


Jackie’s emotion by the travelling repairman. I’m not 
sure whether the please-pity-me story of some sort of 
physical attraction brought it on but Jackie’s 
emotional constitution is only charged for a moment 
before being jolted by the return of her husband. Yet, 
at this point, rather than a transition into tough-take- 
charge-bitch, all is docility. The repairman soon gets 
his charge and the play ends with Jackie bitching about 
yet another worry, (the dead body). 

It’s difficult to say whether the play would have 
been improved with the electrocution occurring early, 
as Rollans seems acutely aware of the particular 
reaction we have to every situation, or whether better 
left as is, leaving the obviously desired dramatic ending 
intact. 

The performances were surprisingly good. 
Watching Marianne Copithorne, as Jackie, you 
wonder how she manages to incite the extremes, but 
she somehow does so. Stephen Holgate, as Dale, easily 
does so and gives a most commendable performance. 
Douglas Newell leaves us with the i impression of the’ 
character we are meant to have. 

Allin all, U of A student Glenn Rollans deservesa | 
good round of applause for his efforts. The audience 
(75 plus) enjoyed it and | am sure join me in extending. 

congratulations and best wishes to all of Rollans’ 
ene eavours : 


‘UBC goaltender Ron Paterson foiled this scoring chance by the Bears. Randy Gregg (24) eyes his target as captain Kevin Primeau gasps on the edge of the crease and top scorer John 


Devaney hangs back for a rebound. 


Fans and Thunderchicken inspire UBC 


UBC 4 Bears 3 
UBC 6 Bears 5 


It was dark and rainy this 
past weekend in Vancouver. The 


sort of weather perfect for 


‘funerals. And the Golden Bear 
hockeyteamwitnessed thedeathoi 
their 14 game winning streak as 
they lost two tough games to the 
T-Birds. 

Friday night the T-Birds 
outchecked the Bears during the 
first two periods and hung on for 
a 4-3 win, but on Saturday a 
couple of bad bounces for the 
Bears propelled the shaky UBC 
team to a 6-5 overtime win. 

They were the best two back 
to back college games this writer 
has witnessed since the famous 
75-76 national championship 
series between the Toronto Blues 
and the Bears. 

Two brawls in the third 
period must have given UBC a 
lift as they scored two goals only 
seconds after the play had 
resumed. Jim Stuart scored the 
winner at 16:44, only 10 seconds 
after Ted: Poplawski had been in 
a skirmish with “Badman” Tom 
Blaney. 

Stuart’s goal was his third of 
the night; only a minute earlier 
he had tied up the game (this 
occured eight seconds after a 
huge donnybrook). 

Dave Breakwell had been 
the bright spot for Alberta up 
until the fights as he scored all 
three Alberta goals, two of them 
coming on = great 
efforts. The shifty center had 
defensemen standing in shock at 
the blueline as he put ona display 
of moves that defies description. 

Ted Poplawski was outstan- 
ding in the nets, stopping 35 
shots as opposed to 30 for UBC 
goaler Ron Paterson. 

“It was an inspired win,” 
said an excited Bert Haliwell, the 


individual 


UBC coach..““We changed our 


forechecking system and it work- 
ed well to offset the better skaters 
on the Alberta club.” 

Peter Moyls scored the 
other UBC goal early in the 
game. Jim Carr was stopped ona 
breakaway with 49 seconds left 
on the clock. Coach Clare Drake 
commented that two defensive 
errors late in the game had 
turned it around for UBC. 

Saturday’s game was a 
spectator’s delight, a thrilling 6-5 
victory for a UBC team that was 
badly outplayed by the Bears. 

The turning point of the 
game occured with 3:44 left in the 
third period as the puck 
something along the boards and 
shot out in front of Jack Cum- 
mings. Derek Williams shot it in 
and made it 4-4. The Bears had 
been leading 4-1 early in the third 
period, but two goals resulting

Despite crippling iniedcs 
and a rampaging flu bug, the 
Bears basketball team limped 
home from Saskatchewan with a 
split in their weekend series. 
Playing without the services of 


‘Brent Patterson and Pat Rooney 


(leg injuries) and with Mike 
Abercrombie, Ludwig Ernst and 
Al Speer slowed by the flu bug, 
coaches Gary Smith and Tom 


‘Bishop were hard pressed to 


dress 10 players. 

Early in Friday night’s 
contest the Bears were hurt when 
forward Colin Fennell was forc- 
ed to the bench with a badly 


trom lost faceoffs put UBC back 
in the contest. 

It was the loss of the faceoff 
possessions that irked coach 
Clare Drake the most and he 
pinpointed them as a major 
factor in the outcome of the 
game. 

Jim Causgrove was the best 
forward on the ice for the Bears, 
despite the fact he dinged one off 
the post at 19:57 of the third 
period. He scored one himself, 
assisted on two others, and made 
his presence known in the cor- 
ners. 

Jack Cummings played one 
of his best games of the year, but 
he got the bad bounces on the 
important goals in the third 
period. 

Terry Shykova score the 
overtime goal for UBC ona great 
effort by Derek Williams, who 
swooped behind a _ Bear 


Bears split 


bruised shoulder. With a loss of' 


manpower the Bears were forced 


away from the pressing game and ~ 


played for the most part man-to- 
man defense. The Bears were 
hurt inside by big Roger Gaines 
who seemed to dominate the 


_ boards at the both ends of the 


floor, scoring 23 points. Bear big 
men could only reply with 17 
points between three of them. 
Bob Baker and Mike Aber- 
crombie player very strong 
games, however, and the Bears 
managed to keep the score close 
as a result of Albercrombie’s fine 
outside shooting. With 12 
seconds left the Bears were up by 
one point but fouled Roger 
Gaines who promptly dropped in 
both of his rebounds. In the last 
12 seconds the Bears had three 


defenseman and fed Shykova in 
the slot. 

Lane Lavik, Dick Jellema, 
Stuart Jones and Williams 
scored the other UBC goals. Jim 
Carr had a pair for Alberta, with 
John Devaney, Causgrove and 
Jim Lomas getting singles. 

It appeared the game was 
safe when John Devaney scored 
in a scramble after some hard 
work by Causgrove in front of 
the net, but the last four minutes 
of the game were filled with end 
to end rushes. 

UBC coach Bert Halliwell 
stated: “It was another inspired 
win; I’m sure the crowd made the 
difference tonight. We’ve really 
come together as a team since 
Christmas.” 

He went on to add that he 
thought his goaltender kept them 
in the game during the last period 
and in overtime as the Bears 


with lowly 


shots, but unfortunately the ball 
popped out all three times. 

Mike Abercrombie led the 
Bears with 24 points and Keith 
Smith hit for 21 points. Wayne 
Bishop, a mediocre player on a 
less than mediocre team, canned 
21 points. The Bears managed 
only 12 defensive rebounds in the 
game. 

Saturday night the Bears 
came out strong, forcing Gaines 
and high scoring forward Stu 
Bauck into early foul trouble. 
Colin Fennell returned to action, 
but the flu got the best of 
Abercrombie, who crawled to 
the bench after seven minutes 
and 14 points. Bob Baker again 
came off the bench and con- 
tributed significantly to a 40-34 
halftime lead.

THE BEAR FACTS: The win 
puts the T-Birds in second spot 
with a 9-5 record, still 10 points 
behind the Bears (14-2). Calgary 
sits in third spot with a 5-11 
mark, while the Sask. Huskies 
are in their perpetual cellar 
position with two wins in 14 
games. 

Mike Broadfoot suffered a

sweep the weekend games with Saskatchewan.

Pandas sweep series with overtime win 


The University of Alberta 
Panda basketball team escaped 
from Saskatoon Saturday night 
with two victories and renewed 
playoff hopes. The Pandas, 
utilizing their superior height, 
were able to wean down the 
spirited, aggressive Huskiettes 
and come out on the top side of 
73-55 and 54-50 scores. 

Friday night’s game, 

w perhaps the-best effort of the 
season, saw a close first half with 
Pandas taking control in the 
final minute for a six point half- 
time lead. The Panda 1:2: 1:1 full- 
court zone press. proved 
devastating for Sask. as the 
Pandas stretched their lead to 57- 
43 after 10 minutes in the second 
half. The last 10 minutes saw the 


Pandas substitute treely and 
streak to the 73-55 victory. 

Janet Bosscha and Trix 
Kannekens both played a strong 
game on the boards and con- 
tributed 23 and 17 points respec- 
tively. 

In a poorly played, scrappy 
game Saturday night the Pandas 
found the’ going much tougher 
with borderline Junior High 
School officiating — the game, 
at times, resembled a rugby 
match. 

The Pandas were victims 
not only of the officiating, but 
also poor passing and shot 
selection. At the half both teams 
were mired in a 23-23 tie. The 
second half saw little improve- 
ment for the Pandas, causing 


Pandas must surge 


Volleyball Pandas went into 
the competition with high hopes 
y’and came out knowing that it 
takes more than high hopes to 
win a tourname * At the U. of 
C. Invitational on the weekend, 
Pandas finished a somewhat 
disappointing 7th in the 15-team 
women’s divison. UBC won the 
tournament, defeating 
Kindersley of Saskatchewan in 
the final. 

There were good things. 
Debbie Ophus and Nancy 
Hawkes came up with steady 
setting performances, and there 
was-some powerful hitting by 
Laurie Couzens. The Pandas 
were able to use the quick attack 
successfully, though not yet with 

gsufficient frequency. In addition, 
Lori Landry and Alyson Roper 
showed that they are capable 
middle block-hitters. 

Coaches ‘Val Hunt’ and 
Betty Baxter are optomistic. “We 
definitely have difficulty main- 
taining push throughout a 
match,” stated Hunt. “It may be 
an attitude thing or it may be 
inability to concentrate.” Seven 


of the twelve players are first year 


and concentration or “mental 
power” takes time to devlop. 
“Volleyball is a psychological 
game,” Hunt continued, “How 
else do you explain a team like U 
of S winning a game 15-2, then 
- losing the next one 0-15?” 
Pandas have their backs 


this weekend to Victoria for the 
second Canada-West _ inter- 


collegiate competition. If they 


are to keep a hold on their 2nd 
place standing, they must win 
two or three of their four 
matches. 


many unsettled moments for 
coach Debbie Shogan. With five 
minutes remaining both pivots 
for the Pandas, Trix Kannekens 


and Janet Bosscha, had fouled , 


out to be followed two minutes 
later by point guard Karen 
Johnson. The Panda bench came 
out strong, however, creating a 
48-48 stalemate at the buzzer. 


In the overtime the Pandas 
jumped to an early four point 
lead and were able to maintain a 
close margin:due largely to 
missed foul jshots by the 
Huskiettes who were 0 for 5 from 
the free throw line in the last two 
minutes. 


Coach Shogan was pleased 
with the win, but found Satur- 
day’s game “very frustrating” 
due largely to the officiating. 
“We saw the results of a little 
mental preparation,” best summ- 
ed up Shogan’s thoughts on the 
weekend. 


Trix Kannekens and Lori 
Chizik each had 12 points for the 
Pandas with Nancy Spencer and 
Gail Braithwaite putting in 
strong performances.

On Sunday, Jan. 15 16th the 
U A. team Handball Pandas 
defeated the Edmonton Canucks 
15-llina game marred by incon- 
sistent and downright confusing 
officiating. However both teams 
managed to endure the mediocri- 
ty and play a highly entertaining 
game. The Pandas were charged 
upind aggressive at the start of 
the game controlling the ball well 
on offense and setting up sure 
goals by good _ heads-up 
playmaking. Playing an 
aggressive 6-0 defense, the Pan- 
das caused quite a few turnovers 
which were immediately 
capitalized on for fast-break 
goals. 


Saturday. Eleven men’s and six 
women’s teams competed. The 
events lasted longer than usual 
because the matches were run 
round-robin to make it possible 
to compute individual standings. 
The placings were decided by a 
fencer’s wins throughout the day. — 
In the case of a tie, indicators 
(total number of hits scored 
minus total number received) 
were used. There was a two-way 
tie for third place in women’s foil 
and a four-way tie for second in 
men’s foil. The importance of 
having good indicators leads to 
keener competition for each hit 
because a fencer is not only 
anxious to win his/her bouts, but 
also to win them decisively.

about 20 seconds and has no 
lines. No doubt his role was 
strongly coveted by the other 
performers.

In Canada’s ships, Maritime 
Engineers work in a wide range of 
disciplines—mechanical, electrical and 
electronic. Marine Engineers are 
responsible for hull, main propulsion, 
and associated systems. Combat Systems 
Engineers are responsible for the 
fighting equipment—weapons, electronic 
sensors, communications and control 
systems. And both are managers, 
supervisors and leaders of men: 

If you're an engineer, or studying 
to become one, think about this Officer’s 
career. It will offer you challenge 
on both a professional and 
personal level—and might take 
you anywhere in the world.
